Martina Franca

Martina Franca, a town of hilly hills, 450 meters above sea level, enjoys a cool and windy climate throughout the year, due to the influence of the nearby coasts of the Ionian and Adriatic. Art city, with its own unique identity, Martina Franca is characterized by its historic center, rich in rococo art elements and original architectural solutions. Turning around the whitewashed alleyways, between fine church facades and local stone carved buildings, it is, for the visitor, a true adventure of the spirit. Originally for the triangular shape, it is Piazza Roma, dominated by the majestic Ducal Palace, with the 18th century frescoes frescoed by Domenico Carella. Elegant is Piazza Plebiscito, with the beautiful facade of the Basilica of S. Martino, the Civic Tower, and the portico of Piazza Immacolata. But it is the whole ancient center that gives us the thrills and surprises in a crescent of Mozart. Artistic Cesare Brandi was "impressed by the harmonious distribution of the city, like an eighteenth-century theater, where music was heard by enjoying sorbets." It is witnessed by the prestigious Itria Valley Festival which, in 38 years of refined proposals, consecrated Martina Franca as the "international capital of the beautiful song".
